Troubleshooting

Battery not charging

Ensure the charger is properly connected to the battery and the power source. Verify the charger indicator lights. Check that the battery is not deeply discharged below its minimum voltage threshold, which may require a specific LiFePO4 charger reset procedure.

Reduced runtime or performance

Check all connections for tightness and corrosion. Ensure the load does not exceed the battery's discharge capabilities. Verify the battery has been stored in a charged condition and has not been subjected to extreme temperatures for extended periods.

Battery not powering device

Confirm the battery is charged. Check the device's power requirements and ensure they are within the battery's specifications. Inspect wiring and connections for any faults.
